Текст Chris Cornell – Misery Chain

Won’t you take one link from this misery chain
Keep it to remind you of a long forgotten time or a place
So that you recognize its shape when it’s near
Any time or place this misery chain should appear

Take the locks and shackles, and melt all of it down
Shine a light upon every shadow, every acre of ground
The hidden corners on in all around
Anywhere you feel this misery chain should be found

And when we’re gone
And it’s all said and done
What will we leave?
The stories told
Will they speak of us well?
God only knows
What those words will be

And if I should fall from the top of the world
To the depths below, so far below what I believe could exist
Down further still will be the one who hides the key
Dares to try to put these misery chains on me

And when we’re gone
And it’s all said and done
What will we leave?
The stories told
Will they speak of us well?
God only knows
What those words will be

Won’t you take one link from this misery chain
Keep it to remind you of a long forgotten time or a place
So that you recognize it ’til it’s understood
That every trace of this misery chain is gone for good
